COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 


By  JOHN  S.  BURD. 


The  present  report  contains  the  tabulated  analyses  of  fertilizers 
collected  for  the  half-year  ending  June  30,  1909.  During  this  period 
318  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials  have  been  received 
at  the  laboratory.  Of  this  number  39  were  sent  by  farmers  under  the 
two-dollar  fee  provision,  189  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  purchasers ' 
goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers,  and  32  were  taken  by 
inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents  and  manufacturers.  On 
37*  samples  the  analysis  as  reported  was  used  as  a  basis  of  settlement 
by  mutual  agreement  of  buyer  and  seller.  No  guaranty  was  required 
or  given  with  goods  sold  under  such  an  agreement.  Fifty-eight  samples 
of  a  miscellaneous  nature  are  omitted  from  the  tables. 

The  total  number  of  samples  handled  is  greater  than  that  for  any 
half-year  yet  reported.  The  percentages  of  purchasers'  samples 
(73%)  is  also  materially  greater  than  heretofore.  Indeed  the  attempts 
that  have  been  made  to  comply  with  all  reasonable  requests  from  pur- 
chasers to  sample  their  goods,  has  resulted  in  a  considerable  tax  on 
the  time  of  our  inspectors.  The  superiority  of  such  samples  over  those 
found  in  the  hands  of  dealers,  as  indicating  the  character  of  the  goods 
actually  being  delivered  to  consumers,  justifies  on  the  whole,  the 
increased  cost  of  inspection.  It  must  be  remembered,  however,  that 
lots  of  fertilizer  at  places  remote  from  inspectors'  headquarters  cannot 
always  be  sampled.  Requests  to  have  inspectors  sample  purchases 
should  be  addressed  to  the  Fertilizer  Control,  or  for  Southern  Cali- 
fornia to  Mr.  A.  C.  Pickett,  Riverside.  In  cases  when  such  requests 
cannot  be  complied  with,  the  consumer  always  has  the  privilege  of 
taking  his  own  sample  and  same  will  be  analyzed  if  taken  in  accordance 
with  our  directions  and  accompanied  by  the  nominal  fee  of  $2.00. 
prescribed  by  law.  No  fee  is  required  when  samples  are  taken  by  our 
inspectors. 


*  Besides  these  a  considerable  number  of  the  remaining  purchasers'  analyses 
were  doubtless  used  subsequently  as  a  basis  of  settlement,  but  without  being 
reported  to  this  office. 


92  UNIVERSITY  OF   CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT   STATION. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in 
this  bulletin : 

Complete  Fertilizers  74 

Bone  Meal 23 

Tankage   : 73 

Superphosphate  8 

Dried  Blood 29 

Nitrate  of  Soda 16 

Sulfate  of  Potash  5 

Bat  guano 27 

Bird  guano  phosphate  1 

Ammoniated  Superphosphate 2 

Superphosphate  and  Potash 1 

Muriate  of  Potash 1 

Total 260 

In  connection  with  this  classification  it  is  perhaps  worthy  of  note 
that  complete  fertilizers  are  not  so  well  represented  as  in  preceding 
reports.  This  may  possibly  be  accounted  for  by  an  increased  selling 
activity  on  the  part  of  manufacturers  of  bone  and  tankage.  It  is  to 
be  hoped,  however,  that  the  greater  use  of  materials,  other  than  com- 
plete fertilizers,  indicates  an  attempt  on  the  part  of  the  consumer  to 
supply  the  fertilizer  ingredients  adapted  to  his  particular  crop  and 
soil,  rather  than  to  follow  the  practice  of  adding  all  of  the  so-called 
"plant  foods"  in  every  case. 

DEFICIENCIES. 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  number  of 
deficiencies  greater  than  allowed  by  law  occur : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed)....     30 

Total  nitrogen  29 

Potash  - 13 

In  valuation 21 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  65  samples. 
•  The  fertilizer  law  allows  a  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  in  nitrogen, 
0.50  per  cent  in  potash,  and  1.00  per  cent  in  available  phosphoric  acid. 

FERTILIZER   VALUATIONS. 

The  calculations  of  the  commercial  values  of  the  fertilizers  here 
reported  are  made  on  the  so-called  unit  basis.  Such  calculations  con- 
sist simply  in  multiplying  the  number  of  per  cent  of  each  ingredient 
by  the  price  per  unit  and  adding  the  products.    The  sum  thus  obtained 


Bulletin  205.  COMMERCIAL  fertilizers.  93 

is  the  commercial  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is  desired  to 
use  such  a  calculation  for  determining  the  amount  which  should  be 
paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled  owing  to 
the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be  satisfac- 
torily done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon  between 
buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the  relative 
values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that  the  prices 
adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that  the  Fer- 
tilizer Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between  values  found 
and  values  claimed,  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly  only  an 
approximate  average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market  fluctuations, 
differences  in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and  other  causes,  the 
obtaining  of  true  average  market  prices  is  an  impossibility.  But  if  the 
reader  will  bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the  valuations  reported, 
these  will  have  served  their  turn  and  he  will  not  be  led  to  assume  that 
the  Experiment  Station  is  dictating  the  prices  at  which  goods  shall  be 
sold.

REPORT  OF  ANALYSES.* 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of 
these  materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated 
by  a  sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and 
Thomas  phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation 
from  guaranty  of  materials  used.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen 
in  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of 
guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact  that 
some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts.  The  failure  to 
take  this  into  consideration  may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance 
of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only  organic 
nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  Avhen  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is 
from  muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in 
some  of  the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash 
and  uses  a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from 
a  practical  standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just 
as  much  as  if  he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of 
potash.  Chlorin  from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from 
muriate  of  potash.  However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when 
sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the  fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables :  BL=blood, 
Bn=bone,  Fs=fish,  G— guano,  Super— superphosphate,   T=tankage. 

Guarantees  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type. 


"The  statement  has  sometimes  been  made  that  the  work  of  the  Fertilizer 
Control  is  being  done  by  students.  Such  is  not  the  case.  All  analyses  are 
made  by  Messrs.  P.  L.  McCreary  and  P.  L.  Hibbard,  who  are  both  careful  and 
experienced  analysts.
